SCUM bria - Re: "As long as AMD can keep up in MHz, they should make money ?que no?" Que No ? There are many aspects of making money - and I doubt that any business text books have identified MHz as a criterium for making money. When AMD had a K6 that was faster than Intel's Pentium MMX, did AMD make money ? When AMD had the FABULOUS Sharp Eye K6III at 450 MHz - faster than Intel's Pentium II - did AMD make money ? AMD - with one blind eye and the other consumed by rage - is shooting at a moving target - and has so far only been able to hit itself in the a$$. Paul
